Newly Doagnosed And Have A Question

Hello everyone.....

I am brand new to this and I am hoping that there is someone out there that can help answer a question for me. My son is 13 years old and newly diagnosed with Celiac Disease. The gluten free diet was amazing. His symptoms disappeared after just 6 days being gluten free. He has NEVER been a "burper". His entire life I think I can count on one hand the number of times I have ever heard him burp out loud for someone else to hear. Since starting the gluten free diet his symptoms have disappeared as far as the joint pain and such but now he burps after every meal. It just comes rolling out of him and he doesn't even feel it coming ! Has anyone else experienced anything like this ? They say he has most likely had celiac disease his entire life but sadly enough it took all of this time to just figure it out. Just wondering if anyone has any input ?

Thanks :)

Is he still eating dairy? Some of us are dairy intolerant for the first while, until we heal up. Might be causing the issue?

I'm sure there are many more possibilities that others here can suggest. :) My daughter was 11 when she was diagnosed, but we skipped the burping. Does it hurt him at all? Acidic or anything like that? Have they tested him for H. Pylori bacteria in the gut? That might be an issue too, actually, come to think of it. Very common with Celiacs, too.

I had that For a long time actually. In fact, I was so gassy in my stomach at times food wouldn't stay down but came right back up after just a minute. Your son has a new diet, and his system has bacteria that feed off certain nutrients and have to balance out. After a while if he is strictly gluten free he should get better. But it has to be a very strict gluten-free, no cheating, no cross contamination etc. There are many other foods that can also cause problems for us though, including soy, dairy, corn etc etc etc. It might help to limit sugary drinks etc for a while, and to try a dairy free probiotic once in a while. Eating fewer meals with more proteins and veggies than carbs may help too.

      gluten-free Oatmeal

      By Scott Adams · Posted

      Oats naturally contain a protein called avenin, which is similar to the gluten proteins found in wheat, barley, and rye. While avenin is generally considered safe for most people with celiac disease, some individuals, around 5-10% of celiacs, may also have sensitivity to avenin, leading to symptoms similar to gluten exposure. You may fall into this category, and eliminating them is the best way to figure this out. Some people substitute gluten-free quinoa flakes for oats if they want a hot cereal substitute. If you are interested in summaries of scientific publications on the topic of oats and celiac disease, we have an entire category dedicated to it which is here: https://www.celiac.com/celiac-disease/oats-and-celiac-disease-are-they-gluten-free/

      Shingles - Could It Be Related to Gluten/ Celiac

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Hi, @Ginger38, I've had shingles in the past.  I understand how miserable you're feeling.   Not only do i have the chickenpox virus lurking about, I also have the cold sore virus that occasionally flares with a huge cold sore on my lip when stressed or exposed to gluten.  The virus lives dormant in the nerves on the left side of my face.  It causes Bell's Palsy (resulting in drooling).  The cold sore virus is also in my eye.  My eye swells up and my vision is diminished permanently whenever I have a flare, so it's of the utmost importance to keep flares away and treat them immediately if they do happen so I don't lose any more vision.   I take the amino acid supplement L-Lysine.  Lysine messes with the replication of viruses, which helps the body fight them off.   I haven't had an outbreak for several years until this year when exceptionally stressed and contaminated, it flared up again. Lysine has been shown to be beneficial in suppression of viruses like the cold sore virus (a herpetic virus), the chickenpox virus (also a herpetic virus), as well as the HIV virus, and even the Covid virus.   I also take additional Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) because Thiamine has antiviral properties as well.   For pain, a combination of Thiamine (like TTFD or Benfotiamine or Thiamine Hydrochloride), with B12 Cobalamine, and Pyridoxine B6 have been shown to have analgesic properties which relieve pain and neuropathy.    The combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and Cobalamine B12 really does work to relieve pain.  I take it for pain from crushed vertebrae in my back.  This combination also works on other pain and neuropathy.   I usually buy a supplement that combines all three and also Riboflavin B2 called EXPLUS online.  However, it's made in Japan and the price with the tariffs added makes it really expensive now.  But the combination of Thiamine B1, Pyridoxine B6 and B12 Cobalamine (and Riboflavin B2) still work even if taken separately.   I can't take Tylenol or ibuprofen because of stomach upsets.  But I can take the vitamin combination without side effects.  However, you can take the three vitamins at the same time as other pain relievers for added benefit.  The vitamins help other pain relievers work better. I hope you will try it.  Hopeful you'll feel better quickly.
